When you sign up to Twurly we collect the following data from you.

• Your Twitter access token (which gives us access to your tweets)
• Your Twitter username, time zone and real name
• Your email address
• Tracking that you open your Twurly email
• Any links you click in your Twurly email

What we do with that data

Your Twitter access token

This gives us read-only access to your Tweets (we can't and won't send messages as you).
Twurly uses this to read your Twitter feed and collect webpage links shared by the people that you follow.
It also gives us access to information shared in your Twitter profile. Specifically, your name and your time zone.
Twurly uses this to correctly address emails to you in the correct time zone.

Your email address

Twurly uses this to send you a sign-up confirmation email and the daily email digest of links.
We may also send occasional emails with news and announcements about the Twurly website.

Tracking that you open your Twurly email

Twurly uses this to help resolve delivery errors and determine if an account subscription is active

Any links you click in your Twurly email

Twurly uses this to help determine what links to filter in or out of your email

What we won't do with that data

Your Twitter access token

We won't send Twitter messages (Tweets) on your behalf. In fact, we can't; Twurly only has read-only access to your Tweets so Twitter would block any attempt by us to do that.

Your email address

We won't sell, disclose or otherwise pass on your email address or other personal information to any outside party (other than as required by UK law).
